LOS ANGELES (AP) — An attorney for a black man beaten by police during a televised arrest said his client now has "classic" signs of brain damage, including slurred speech and difficulty concentrating.
Richard Nussbaum, who is preparing a civil lawsuit for Stanley Miller, said Tuesday that Miller suffers from severe headaches after a police officer repeatedly hit him with a flashlight following a car chase last week.
Miller, 36, was sent to a prison medical facility for observation Monday night after complaining of dizziness at the state prison in Chino, said prison spokesman Sgt. Arioma Sams.
